Euro 2020: Likes of Mbappe and Kane struggling, wing backs shine

India TV News  

Kylian Mbappé scored the most goals in France last season, and Harry Kane did likewise in the Premier League. Although prolific for their clubs — Mbappé with 27 league goals and Kane with 23 — neither has managed to replicate their domestic scoring output at the European Championship. “I think it’s the world of a big player,” England coach Gareth Southgate said, discussing Kane. “I knew as soon as I would be in the national team, the critics would come out — that is part of the football game but I never give up,” Benzema said. Goals against the Ukraine and Austria — the PSV Eindhoven's player first for the national team — helped them into the last 16.
